How
to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day: This day
has been associated with parades and parties and festivals. Of course Green Beer and Irish whiskey are
always tried and true for those of us over 21.
For the wee ones try adding Green food dye to water, ice tea or
soda. Makes for a fun and festive drink. Shamrock cookies and candies add to the
Sugar overload. Always have fun and
remember that this is a day of fun and frolic.
We could talk about the history of St. Patrick’s Day and American and
Irish traditions, but the Internet is full of stories about the history. We just want you to know we believe the love
of all things Celtic should be a year round experience not just celebrated on
one day per year and forgotten. So
here’s a wee toast for March 17th…
The
Wearin O the Green
Parades
and festivities abound.
Wee
ones and adults alike frolic around.
Shopping
and Crafts and holiday faire
Line
the city streets and rural routes everywhere.
After
the parades and shopping end
And
the sugar overload in our kids mend,
We
send them to bed thinking of a St. Patrick’s Day dream
And
we head to the pub for a shot of Jim Beam!

TO
ALL OUR CUSTOMERS:
Thank
you so much for the last 15 years of joy, passion, and discovery, learning,
growing and of course selling. We
appreciate you and without all your fiery passion for our history and heritage
and all things Celtic we would not be here today. We plan on at least another 15 years or more. To celebrate
our 15th year milestone, each order will receive a free pdf copy of
my cookbook version 2. The
cookbook is being updated with new recipes this year in Nov. I am also launching hopefully two books this
year, the long awaited Celtic Haunted Highway and a new book the ABC’s of
Recovery.
We
have had a tough few months here at the Celtic Attic with the death of two
children, on son’s girlfriend passing suddenly and leaving my grandson without
a mum and my eldest son being hospitalized after a bought with the flu. So needless to say that everyone comes to me
because of my degree in Psychology and my Life Coaching practice. I have counseled so many in the last few
months it is a whirlwind for my mind.
As I was thinking about all of this I realized that a nice little
booklet with some Celtic prayers, meditations I grew up with, some pictures I
have been taking of peaceful and amazing scenery and some upbeat words of
inspiration might be just what everyone needed, so I put a few things together
and the kids loved it. I will expand upon it to cover the whole alphabet and
days of the week so hopefully it can help others out. There will be more about this book in upcoming newsletters. As with most of my self help books it will
be available in PDF and in soft cover versions. I will also be launching a GoFundMe campaign to help with the
production costs for this book. Anyone
that donates will get a free copy of the book.
So stay tuned for this.
As
Always, Peace
